While the Conan/Leno debate is indeed very serious and there are many views and opinions on the matter… I believe this video most eloquently describes how I feel.

This video also explains how I think corporate America works.

While I generally keep the content on my website smart, informative and inspiring, there is something about the following video that resonates so strongly with my childhood. Nick Arcade was one of the many shows on Nickelodeon when I was a child. Unlike shows such as Double Dare and Wild and Crazy Kids, Nick Arcade relied on contestants’ ability to play video games and know pop culture references.

Even as an nonathletic child, I always felt I was in better shape than the contestants on Double Dare. They stumbled around the stage with no concept of spatial awareness. They moved so slowly and without any grace. Even then I knew, if I was on one of those shows, I could outdo them. But, a show like Nick Arcade, I was MADE for. I always knew I was smarter, faster and more of a geek than any of those kids. If I felt confident outmaneuvering kids on a sports show, I would clean the floor with these kids on Nick Arcade!

That being said, this video exemplifies every reason why I felt that way. Please enjoy, share and relive your childhood.

This weekend I participated in the first ever Philadelphia Fashion Week! It was an incredible event and I was asked to be the closing DJ for the closing night. I had the privilege of DJing the last 3 hours of the event as well as having the great opportunity to create 3 “runway DJ sets” for 3 different designers’ shows.

The first set was for SA VA.

After seeing some of SA VA’s looks online and watching interviews with SA VA herself, the feeling I got from her designs were meant to give the women who wore them a feeling of sexiness and beauty, but were coupled together by a hint of maturity. The set I came up with features the same elements that her designs invoke.

The second set I made was for men’s swimwear designers Parke and Ronen.

Although the designs they showed at PFW2009 are not available on their site yet, I did get a sneak peak at their look book prior to the event. Their designs are very interesting and they wanted the music to push the energy levels to the max. Between having very excited male models, vibrant designs and pulsing electro rock tunes, their show was my favorite moment of the night. I personally met with their marketing manager to come up with a feel for the set and I think we knocked it out of the park.

The final designer for the night was Melani Von Alexandria.

Melani’s designs are very powerful and dynamic. I felt that the perfect set of music would be songs that featured heavy bass synths and sexy vocals. The strong bass lines and soft vocals in all the songs were a perfect match for her looks and made for a fantastic finish for the night.

I was personally thanked by all the designers for how well all the music complimented their work. It made me very proud to be a part of the event and I’m glad I did some of Philly’s finest some justice since their city took very good care of me. I can’t wait for next year!

1. DO MORE: Learn How To Use Twitter! Part One!

A few months ago, when I had the idea for my reality show, I decided to try and get my hands in all sorts of cookie jars for the sake of “being discovered.” I forget how I stumbled upon Reality Wanted, but nonetheless, without this site, I wouldn’t be able to tell you this story!

Reality Wanted is a site where users and casting agents collide. Users set up profiles for agents to see and casting directors post listings and troll the community looking for users to get onto their shows. I had put up a profile there months ago for fun, not expecting much at all. So after checking my spam folder last week, I realized I had an email from Reality Wanted that wasn’t their usual listing round up e-mail.

I checked it out and it was from a producer from The Tyra Banks Show! Long story short, they were looking for men with bushy eyebrows and Lord knows I’m a great candidate for that. HOWEVER, I had to shave my beard! For those who know me, my beard is a big part of my look and personality. I haven’t shaved it off in almost 6 years!

For fun I shot a little video about shaving my beard, just to show the producers I had a good attitude about something I never wanted to do in the first place.

The experience itself was not so bad and afterwards I made a reaction video also!

All in all it was an interesting experience to say the least. If it wasn’t for that one random day I decided to make a profile on Reality Wanted, this situation may have never happen. It just goes to show that you never know!
